Method and apparatus integral or added to a container for spreading the container contents

ABSTRACT

The presented invention renews by method and apparatus added or integrated to a container, the system of spreading its contents if of viscous nature such as food spreads (chocolate spread, ketchup, spreading cheese, etc.), when the apparatus includes a frame to which a flexible piece and material is attached (silicone, for example) and where that silicone surface contains two slits or more, rending it suitable for different implementations, one of which is a length slit and the other crosses it. Thus the slits in the silicone form a 90 degrees opening for pouring or released materials from the container&#39;s corks, suitable for different kinds of containers. 
     The contents of the containers are food spreads of various kinds, as already specified or other materials in spreadable forms (paint, for example) that can be applied over wooden or stony surfaces.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The presented invention manages materials held in containers, enabling asmoother and more tidy and neat release of material through ordinary orcrossing slits in silicone corks, in such a method that the siliconeslits regain their original ordinary form and lock the material back inthe container when the pressure over them ceases. It is common knowledgethat various substances and materials, in different accumulation states,when stored in containers, require additional instruments for evenly andneatly spreading them over surfaces, and the common way of squeezing outthe materials, using gravitation forces, creates messy unpleasantresults.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description andthe following detailed description present embodiments of the inventionand are intended to provide an overview or framework for understandingthe nature and character of the invention as it is claimed. Theaccompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding ofthe invention and are incorporated into and constitute a part of thisspecification. The drawings illustrate various embodiments of theinvention and, together with the description, serve to explain theprinciples and operations of the invention but not to limit theinvention to these descriptions only.

The present invention enables tidy and neat spreading of materials outof containers using a silicone cork, with at least two (or more) slitsin it, for spreading the contents over surfaces, in a method better thanthe one used for tooth-paste tubs. These silicone slits allow creatingpressure over the container and the materials in the container aresqueezed out through several slits evenly and neatly, wherein, thesesilicone slits designed on the silicon material by creating horizontallyand vertically cuts on the silicon material, and when pressure ceasesthese holes (slits) regain their original former state, not allowingadditional leakage of material.

Scheme 4 is an additional schematic description of a container and corkas in this presented invention, together with exemplary surface, uponwhich the material will be spread.

Scheme 5 describes additional implementation included in the presentedinvention, the method of letting out stored material through thecontainer's cork and its' spreading over the surface used.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

As will be appreciated the present invention is capable of other anddifferent embodiments than those discussed above and described in moredetail below, and its several details are capable of modifications invarious aspects, all without departing from the spirit of the invention.Accordingly, the description of the embodiments set forth below are tobe regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive.

Scheme 1 is a schematic description of an example included in thepresent invention—a 100 container with 106 108 slits in the cork, or 104cork for spreading material over an external surface, so that pressing102 container upsides down while attached to 104 cork or with 110closing, shows material flow as in this presented invention.

Scheme 2 shows an example of 150 former art used in a 152 tooth-pastetube patent, using a silicone crossing cork 154 and 156, when pressing152 tube enables flow of viscous 158 paste in controlled easy to dealwith manner, and when pressure over 152 container ceases, opening slits154 and 156 close and avoid undesirable flow of material.

Scheme 3 shows additional implementation example, included in thepresented invention where a 182 container with 186, 188 and 190exemplary slits cut in the silicone surface and crossing each otherintended for releasing material so that pressing 182 container enablesapplying pressure over silicone surface, and the flowing without 184pressure, to some extent, allows material release as in this presentedinvention.

Scheme 4 is a schematic description of an additional 200 implementation,included in the presented invention, presenting a 202 container with 204opening slit allowing spreading material over external surfaces so thatpressing 202 container enables material flow and presents the method ofthe created flow, through length slit and smaller minor 106 slits over204 silicone surface shutting off 202 container and assimilatingcontrolled managed 208 material flow according to slits structureadapted to all materials within 202 container and implementation of 208substance over 210 bread slice as example, in accordance with theinvention hereby presented.

Scheme 5 presents an additional implementation example, parallel andsame as scheme 4, but it is suitable for pita-bread types of foods,where implemented 200 type included in the present invention consists of204 container with 208 slits opening for allowing material flow intopita bread 202 opening, through 206 narrow and long entry point, andwhile adapted for suiting 206 opening of the 202 pita bread forimplementing container's stored material into 202 pita bread as includedin this presented invention, and while the shapes and forms of the slitsin the silicone surface, shapes and forms of the containers, corks andcovers of the containers hereby described, are not inclusive orlimiting, but are used for examples purposes only, for demonstrating andshowing purposes and claims of this invention only, and shall not beotherwise considered.

1. Method, device and instrument, enabling a container for materials ofcertain viscosity and its spreading over external surfaces, storageopenings based on: a. Silicone closing and cover surface over openingsin the container, and when, b. The silicone surfaces include at leasttwo slits allowing flow, and, c. Opening slits are consisted of at leastone long slit with additional crossing it one or more slit/s, and, d.Creating manual pressure enabling at least partial flow of the storedmaterial, and, e. Flow is conducted in a controlled method, from atleast 2 separate points, without affecting structure of the material andallowing its implementation over an external surface, similar tospreading over sliced surface, and, f. Releasing pressure on thecontainer allows at least partial closing of the silicone surfaceopening slits and flowing arrest.

 3. Method, instrument and device as in claim2 above, wherein silicone surface and its flowing slits structured overthe cork and cover of the container can be added or removed from thecontainer thus allowing replacing the corks by different ones ordifferent cover of the container, for allowing flow of differentimplemented materials over different implemented surfaces.
 4. Method,instrument and device as per claims 1 and 2 above, wherein the siliconesurface includes flexible frame that can be implemented over differentcontainers, for controlled flow of stored material.
 5. Method,instrument and device allowing spreading container's contents in tidyand clean flow, wherein instrument and device form a closing cork overcontainer's opening slits, in form of silicone surface cover withcrossing slits and when at least two slits allow surface flow and notjust tube flow existing in previous arts, and when 2 of these slits arecut into silicone surface, one by the other, or in crossing each otherformat, thus allowing flow when pressure is applied to the container,through several slits or openings, and allowing silicone slits regainingtheir original shape and form when pressure ceases, with an almostimmediate flow stoppage.
